How to Make Chilli Lemon Octopus
- Clean the octopus: Remove and discard the heads and beaks from 1 pound of octopus. Cut the octopus into 1-inch pieces.
- Marinate the octopus: In a large bowl, combine the octopus pieces with the zest and juice of 1 large lemon, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon chilli sauce (adjust to your spice preference), and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
- Prepare for cooking: Drain the octopus, reserving the marinade. Pat the octopus pieces dry with paper towels.
- Cook the octopus: Heat a large skillet or grill pan over high heat. Add the octopus and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until tender and slightly charred. Do not overcook.
